Crossing the Hudson

The historical novel that I will write some time in the near future is called "Crossing the Hudson". It is the story of General George Washington's rebel army as it retreats from New York City after beign defeated by General Clinton and the British royal Army. The story is told through the eyes of a twenty year old second luietenant named Josiah Tynes from Framingham Massachusetts. This was a hugely symbolic moment in American history. It is a kin to when Julius Ceasar crossed the Rubicon in Italy back in the times of Ancient rome. The Colonial rebels set fire to the city of New York in one of the most dramatic moments of the revoulationary war.
